The Coffee that Gives Back!

Cave Bird Coffee owner Glen Shorley in Uganda where he gets much of his coffee.

There is nothing better than a good cup of coffee anytime of the day. Cave Bird is passionate in producing
great tasting coffee ... and a coffee that gives back!

Gives Back?

Cave Bird Coffee is not just about great craft coffee! We exist with a mission beyond a good cup of java:
Purchasing Ugandan green beans, providing 100% of green bean purchase directly to the farmers,
donating proceeds from our retail sales back to the villages. We give back! That's only a bit of the mission-nature
of Cave Bird Coffee. There is much more! (Read more about this mission-aspect of Cave Bird Coffee
on the About Us & Cup of Life pages.)

Our Coffee

Beans ready for picking from coffee trees in Uganda.

Cave Bird Coffee acquires premium beans from all over the world: Africa, Central America, South America,
and Oceana. All coffee is roasted in small batches to ensure a consistent and quality roast. Freshness is
important, so we roast to order. We are not a production operation.

If you enjoy a hearty Kenyan, citrus Ethiopian, or a honey smooth Ugandan cup, you can get it here.
If you desire an earthy Sumatra, chocolaty Costa Rica, plus many others, Cave Bird Coffee is for you.
We have great blends and single origins in whole bean and ground. Just let us know.

Cave Bird Coffee is roasted in both medium and dark roast. As a rule, medium roast has a brown dry bean,
and a full body and aroma. A dark roast has a shiny finish on the bean, and a "spicier"
flavor. It is all a personal preference as to which roast you enjoy. Central American beans are best at
medium, African and Oceana beans can go darker, but as each bean has its own personality, attention at the
roast brings out a unique flavor of any bean.

This is only one of our fine coffees. For a full listing, with option to order, go to Our Coffee page.

Special Thanks!

Cave Bird Coffee also wants to give a special thanks to Jim Ducey for his generosity and permission to use his drawing of the Cave Bird.
